Hi,
Re: the idea that it might be a soul rather than a vortex, I've tried to find some sources for what I recall reading, that some souls' glow of light is organized into some geometric shapes. I can't find the sources (Alysia might know), so I'll offer you this summary of descriptions of light bodies (subtle bodies) of folks OBing:
a perceived glow, denser in the center, often in white, gold, rose, or blue, sometimes
seeming like millions of stars
such a light that has areas of intensity that are so bright as to seem like jewels
such a light that is very cohesive and seems to resemble a circle, an oval, or in the most
highly developed souls, a square, rarely surrounding a circle
So it seems that a very advanced soul could be peeking at you, Nanner, possibly wondering what makes you tick !

Maybe it was also sending you the message (which you didn't hear through your own on-going thoughts

)--Nanner, Nanner! Come out OB and fly with me!"
That's just a guess, as it certainly wasn't me

Love, Bets
